Application to host QMSA sanctioned tournament in 2025

On behalf of the Queensland Masters Squash Association (QMSA), I would like to invite your centre/club to apply to host a QMSA sanctioned tournament in 2025.

The closing date  for applications is 12th October 2024.

It is the aim of the QMSA to hold tournaments to promote Queensland Masters Squash. While the majority of players will be QMSA members, we urge strong local participation. Please keep in mind while applying that you need a large contingent from your squash centre to ensure a successful tournament.

Due to the popularity of centres wishing to host a tournament, it is imperative that you return your application as soon as possible before the closing date. Please be aware that if there are more number of applications than available tournament dates, some centres may miss this opportunity.

In general our members enjoy a variety of tournament formats and locations, and with this in mind we endeavour to maintain a good mix of venues throughout our state. Due to the popularity of mixed and team formants, we would request all centres list their tournament format preferences on the application form.

Points to be considered when applying for a tournament:

• Experienced personnel are essential to conduct a successful tournament
• Courts and centre must be of good standard
• You must have good club support

It is important to note that organisers from the squash centre are responsible for running the tournament and draw. The QMSA Tournament Director will provide the latest rankings.

Whilst the QMSA cannot guarantee members will compete in your tournament, we can:

• Promote interest via the QMSA website(s)
• Send the QMSA calendar to as many squash centres as possible

No other squash other squash activities (e.g. club practice, fixtures) are to be held during the tournament.

The number of courts at your centre may dictate entry numbers and/or the type of tournament to conduct.

The tournament guidelines details the requirements and costs of running a QMSA tournament.

Application Process

Please ensure that the dates you select for hosting your tournament does not clash with other sanctioned tournaments at the time. We will do our best to avoid such clashes.

We ask that you carefully consider the tournament guidelines before applying for a tournament.

Download, complete and sign the tournament application form.  
Scan and email application back to the QMSA Tournament Director (tournaments@qmsa.asn.au) before the closing date.

Whilst you are under no obligation to join QMSA, we recommend centre owners/operators to join us to keep up with our latest news and updates.

Thank you for your considerations and we look forward to receiving your application.
